That would be a VERY drunk MiG at a gig that he did before he left for Rockstar. He has a lamp in one hand and microphone in the other :teethQuote:

What I find funny is that Marty's song "Trees" sounds like a better INXS song that "Pretty Vegas". We'll just have to disagree on this... that's fine. I would much rather have seen INXS go with someone who came across authentic than a cheesy imitation of what came before. I do think that artists/bands can reinvent themselves. Makes for some pretty damn great music sometimes.Quote:

He has the same tone to his voice but I don't see him trying to channel Micheal while he performs. The guy just can't get a break, I guess! He's either accused of being too elvis-y, too much like MH, too loung-y...what are the other ones? I know there are more than that! :lol
I wish INXS all the best. They made their choice and they seem happy with it. Let's just hope they find what they are looking for and they all enjoy whatever comes down the road.
Yep, all's well that ends well - Marty will do much better without INXS (great singer, great career ahead), JD will do much better with INXS (won't have to live in car), and FYI y'all, the radio station I listen to played a portion of "Pretty Vegas" yesterday morning, but they turned if off half-way through because it was so awful. And truly, without the visuals to distract while it's playing, it really is one of the worst songs I've ever heard.

I will be more than happy to remember the "good old days" than focus on whatever they do from here on out.
So maybe they can boost their early work sales from this show, because their older fans will remember how great that work was and the show won't be a total loss. :shrug
LOL...I had been wondering what was up with your avatar! And how were you able to get your greedy little paws on that pic???!! :upQuote:
